Show us your unique SUNKEN NETWORKS!

[jamezz_2005 5]

I think that the ability to create realistic sunken networks is one of the most exciting features of the NAM - it's possible to make some really awesome stuff. I would love to see what people have created using the NAM + hole digger lots: underpasses, overpasses, sunken rail, highway, GLR - anything! Anyway in which you have creatively combined the NAM and hole digger lots – POST IT HERE!

Below is a little taste of what I have crafted recently using the NAM + hole digger lots in my latest city 'Hillary' - please let me know what you think!

Here is my example, a sunken stack in an industrial area:

Ooh, a 'show us your...' that I can post in! 

That looks great PM.  It looks almost the same as some of my sunken highways in Calder City:

Those pictures are quite old now, but this one's new!  I've been experimenting with RHW, and I made this part sunken interchange!

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the rail you can see in this pic was made with the Fractional Angle Rail Road (FARR) pieces being developed at 3RR, which are coming soon!

Older pics again:

The most recent picture of the city which has extensive sunken highways.  The highway in this city tile is entirely sunken:

These were already uplpaded to Photobucket... that's why there's so many!

I still have some kninks to work out before release, but these are from the cities Bogdon and Mineola.

I'm not much of a "sinker" myself, but I have a few sunken creations to share.

I have really only built one dedicated sunken highway, the rest are either at the ground or elevated level.

Anyways, that does it for now.  I hope you enjoyed it!

As Jamezz_2005 has now re-started his thread with pictures, and it was his idea originally the thread started by Patricus Maximus has now been merged with this one.

Thank you for everyones understanding in this.

Craig

[psander5 198]

Thanks Craig, and thanks Jamezz_2005 for showing your example! They look great! I especially like the ped bridges. I think i'll have to get round to installing those myself one day!

[art128 4,622]

very nice work everyone !

[thinboy66 6]

Very nice work! Nice use of Grey Road Mod, jamezz!

[rainyday 2]

Here is on of my sunken highway interchanges. It will be in the central part of my city. As you can see, I have only started and the highway isn't finished

P.S If this image is in to big of a resolution or it show up as a hyperlink, please excuse me as i am a total novice at photobucket!

[HunterIrked 1]

Some very cool use of the NAM puzzle pieces. Whenever I try something like that it ends up looking terrible...

@jamezz_2005: Any chance you could post a link to that grey road mod? I've searched, and come up empty.

[Muck308 55]

yeah those are great pics, jamezz. You have some pieces there I don't recall seeing before.

Great pics, everyone.

[JakeMD 107]

@rainyday: You should post Jpegs so it reduces the loading times!

Here is one of mine!

Many thanks for the positive feedback everyone! Pics are looking great - glad to see lots of support for this thread so far!

psander5: thanks for the feedback! I agree, the ped bridges work very nicely with a sunken network, expecially when combined with PEG's Trail Park and Randon Woods.

HunterIrked: the link for the grey road texture mod can be found here. I think these textures look much better than the orginal black road textures, although a few of the newer NAM pieces (mainly GLR in ave) will remain black - am hoping I can fix this myself, but need someone to tell me how to edit NAM textures!

thinboy66; Muck308: cheers for the feedback!

[theblueofliverpool 0]

That's great! DId anyone think about sinking a whole network?

[Owaen 5]

Perhaps not so unique, but still...

Great Interchange owaen i love the way it's sunken

[notmymail77 0]

Nice Owaen, where did you find that sunken trainstatio? Also, does anyone know where i could find a station that can be build at road level for tracks build on an embankment? (that is, if you use the ground lifter, build tracks on top, and want a station where the tracks run above so the tracks are equal to the enbankment)

[Owaen 5]

Thanks for the comments, my ego always thrives with praise

I found the train station on a Japanese site made by Tsushi Nikai.

It can be found on the STEX, (Sunkun Rail Station) by user tadasu.

Or you can download from his site.

Look under Modern Style.

He(?) has some other interesting stuff to download.

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

i am getting ideas from these posts!

[Moorho 0]

Hi guys, can somebody describe me how to build a sunken railway overpass ? I am using NAM as well as digging toll but have no idea ho to connect the the roads running across the sunken rail. I am unable to build a bridge between. Thanx for advice...

BTW great screans, i hope I

[Muck308 55]

Welcome to ST, Moorho. These should help you out.

The first is specific for sunken highway onramps and off ramps, the scond is a more complete tutorial. Hope to see your sunken networks when you've completed them!

[refriedbussy 7]

what kind of good sunken networks could i download without the game crashing?

[TEG24601 32]

Most of these where just made with hole digger lots, NAM, and RHW. There are no networks to download, as these are all using build-in networks and the NAM extensions to them.
